Job Description for Air Force Senior Airman, Air

An Air Force Senior Airman is the highest rank that an enlisted Air force officer can receive. To receive this rank, one must be recommended and be an airman at a lower rank for at least 36 months. One must also be in the active line of duty. There are exceptions to this, and a few people have been promoted six months earlier than the basic timeline.

Airmen must have detailed technical skills, leadership skills, and supervising skills of lower ranked officers. They must complete the Air Force military education, which takes 6 weeks. The rank of this position is just one below a Staff Sargent. This rank is equivalent to a Sargent in the Army or a Corporal in the Marine Corps.

In this rank, the officer is expected to have good standards and be a positive influence on his or her peers. This rank is thought to be more of a transitional rank from Airman to Non-Commissioned Officer. A Senior Airman must show pride and competence. To make it to this rank, the airman needs to be a hard-working individual. Having honed skills will allow an airman to make it up the ladder and be a successful Senior Airman.
